Cookies Policy

Last updated: 24 March 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Sports Medicine North East uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Websites may also use similar technologies such as local storage, security tokens, scripts or server-side identifiers for comparable purposes.

How this website uses cookies and similar technologies

This website is a static website.

We may use limited cookies or similar technologies where they are strictly necessary for the website to work properly, remain secure, or provide a service you have requested.

If you hide the cookie notice shown on the website, we may store that preference in your browser using local storage so the notice stays hidden on later visits from the same browser.

Strictly necessary security and anti-spam technologies

We use third-party services to help host, deliver and protect this website.

Our contact form also uses anti-spam protection to reduce abusive submissions. These security features may use cookies, tokens or similar technical measures where necessary to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated traffic and to protect the website.

Because these technologies are used for essential security and service-delivery purposes, they may operate without optional cookie consent where permitted by law.

Advertising and social media cookies

We do not currently set advertising or social media targeting cookies through this website.

If this changes in future, this Cookies Policy will be updated and, where required, appropriate consent choices will be provided before non-essential cookies are used.

Third-party services

If you contact us through the website form, the message is processed through website security and email-delivery services so your enquiry can be sent to us. These services may involve their own strictly necessary technical measures.

Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can usually delete existing cookies, block future cookies, or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being placed.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies or related technologies may affect how parts of the website function, including access to the contact form or security protections.

You can find general guidance about cookies on the Information Commissioner’s Office website at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies.

Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, legal requirements or the technologies used.
